W3C - More corrections and some features that should be added

Errors

1. Pictures are not showing on the forum pages. Just not there any more.

2. Use the suggested Churchill picture.

3. The newspaper is not visible for others.
Enterprise, creating new corporations, is always presented with the same list of countries.

4. Stealth bombing units cannot maximize the number of bombers. We assume the same is valid for other units.

5. Documents missing for some maintenance products

6. Documents missing for some more products.

7. Some more tuning of the wind energy system which is close to completion.
This consists of more tuning of the basic price of electric power, full utilization of the quality of electric power and further reductions in the maintenance cost of wind turbines.

Features

8. Introducing tabs on the transportation page, same as they are used in the education pages.

9. Easier space transport. allowing multiple trans

Can I add a request to add a "back" button when examining the Transaction Logs? At the moment there are only a "First" and "Next" buttons.

Yes, we know about it of course.

we did not implement because the transaction log files, in total, are several giga byte long.
There are many millions of transactions in these table.

we have limited indexing of these database tables for reasons of performance.
implementing the back button, will require full indexing and a major performance setback.

as we move on and keep increasing the total capacity of the site, implementing it will become more feasible.

Ah, I see, I see. Honestly I prefer higher performance over the small convenience of a back button.

To expand on number 9:

It would be nice if when moving resources between a country stockpile and the space center itself, if there was a link or something next to each row that let the user click to add the max amount of items. Otherwise you have to either copy/paste or type into each box individually.

Right now we are unable to change the name of Space Centers for Enterprises. Could this be fixed?

Nathan,

Good idea. It will make it easier.

Laguna,

It should be possible.
Should have been there in the first place.

When moving goods from and to Space Stations and Direct Trading, is it possible to make the game accept amounts with letters?

For instance, when I am buying stuff from the world market for one of my countries, I can list the amount I want to buy as "70M" and the game converts that into 70 000 000 for the buying order.

We will look into it.
it is implemented in other parts of Simcountry.

Andy,

Does the GM have any plans to make changes to possibly allowing higher limits regarding the changing of professional workers or larger monthly worker trades?

For larger countries, the 300,000 limit is getting really oppressive as it really does not do a lot and over time the lack of being able to change professions becomes a massive detriment!

For example,
I have several nations at 100 million and one with a population of 477 million and still growing naturally.

Only being able to change 300,000 workers a month does nothing and it is really starting to cause a lot of problems in my day to day game play.

Despite changing education standards, worker trades, or profession changes... I have countries with 10's of millions of overeducated workers that are just clogging up the system.

SuperSoldier,

We will reconsider the numbers when population is very large.

I assume the shortages continue mainly with high level workers.

we have made some structural tuning to reduce the problem and we will first
make another step in that direction to reduce the need for these manual corrections.

These manual corrections are annoying and reducing them must be done carefully to prevent us from flipping to surpluses.

We will make another correction first and if needed, reconsider the max numbers.

Andy,

According to my research it seems after a certain level (I would assume 100 million population or more) workers do not seem to balance correctly.
This could be due to size of the country, population growth, the requirement to have high education index's for game score(which effects education levels), or other factors that have not yet been accounted for.

Please check Melchior on LU for more info.

Currently I would need(to have 100% hiring) an additional:
15 million - Low level workers
13 million - Medium level workers
7.5 million - High level workers

I would easily convert the excess workers in all other jobs to cover this gap with plenty of workers left over, but doing 300,000 per month barely makes a dent.

The country is 477 million population and still growing naturally, which puts me into a position where you cannot properly manage expectations

We will make a correction with the next upgrade this week.
it will however take some time to take effect.
It will be gradual.

Also in these numbers:

If you have too many workers in the other groups, reducing the education priorities will make these decline and add to the workers groups.

manual exchanges are indeed impossible with such numbers.
